MP Pulls a Gun During Live TV Debate!

Jordanian member of parliament pulled a gun on a political activist during a furious debate live on Jordanian TV on Friday.

The MP, named in a YouTube clip of the confrontation as Mohammed Shawabka, was debating a political activist named in the clip as Mansour Sayf al-Din Murad, discussing aspects of Jordanian politics including attitudes surrounding the uprising in Syria.

As the discussion became more heated, each of the men accused the other of various crimes and deviancies, including working for the Israeli Mossad intelligence agency. “You’re a Mossad agent,” said one. “You’re a big crook,” said the other.

The MP stood up and began screaming and pointing at the activist, who was sitting opposite him, while the host of the program, Mohammed Habashneh, seated in the center, desperately urged his guests to “calm down.”

Yup. White Christians like Chuck Sumner and Preston Brooks would never do such a thing over the issues of the day.

Well, that is certainly relevant for today, eh? Nothing 150+ years ago can't handle.

You would agree there is a lot of longing for the good old days, yes? Back when everything was better, right?
